Task Force on Incarceration Release Planning and Programs

This task force will build upon the work of NYSBA’s Task
Force on Re-Entry and will recommend state and national policy changes and best
practices for effective incarceration release planning programs. The group will
examine existing programs and consider all relevant issues including: options
for those released into urban and rural settings, inconsistent rules and limited
availability of substance abuse and mental health treatment, housing options,
and the impact on recidivism and public safety that results from inadequate
release planning.
